In the past 2 weeks, DVC isn't doing good.  Too bad I really like that coin...

In the past few months we've seen multiple pump n dump coins come and go... we've realized they almost all have the quick mining and then low block rate forever approach until max supply to try to create maximum profit... but not really thinking about what parameters are "good" for a coin to survive longterm. I think people are starting to finally realize that instead of a max supply in short numbers, the coin to survive will be the one with unlimited coins but stable inflation...debasement is key to a currencies survival long term in an economy. Some people like Anonnymint are aruguing that this is the way of the future for crypto's...and as a result you see ethereum which is claiming to be the "next" coin has unlimited coin inflation... I think the coin that does everything already exists, just people don't realize it yet. Devcoin... the good thing is we leverage mining for bitcoin and give 90% of coins to useful work something whcih no other coin can do because they can't start the merge-mining process with bitcoin at this point... with asics Devcoin has the unique market advantage of offering the  parameters of a coin that will survive as well as providing benefits like allowing people t work for devcoin via the share system...

Unless POS coins come to do the same, there is really no risk of a competitor for devcoin which is why I think its one of the unique ones that may be able to fit our economic landscape like a glove. However POS coins have not been proven yet.

Well done, really good job!

I don't know if there could be a better choice in music though, it's a bit...space cadet. Drums are in right now.
Music wasn’t original plan. I knew tastes would vary whatever I picked so just went with something creative commons and electro that I came across before (space cadet may be fair, didn't think of it that way). But honestly it’s taken too much time, inc then reediting/syncing with music once that was the only option, to start over now.

Marticps: I just wanted to finish what we started. Not quite achieved and obviously first attempt at this stuff, but I didn’t do it to credit myself.

Lorax: Nice idea but that would require going backwards with video & frame editing because scripted animations need to start with a script. Like I said I’ve spent a lot of free time for a while on it and need a break. Even getting an okish version onto youtube was a real hassle. So maybe revisit later. I tried doing voiceover myself but combination of crappy tech and probably my English accent sounded awful.

kendido: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devtome_how_to_post_an_image    Also, when submitting writings you need to do that on the page you create for it and save it, then add that article to your page (not direct into a category page). Otherwise you won't be credited for them and text will be deleted as part of other pages. Have a read through the how-to guides and pm me if not getting it.

EDIT: To ask again, could writers please add their new articles to the 'Most Recent' section on the front page (or appropriate category - but this isn;t required) when submitting. It saves a lot of time and is pretty fundamental to making it work. I know some don't give a sh!t (you know who you are) but to those that do it would be appreciated and sort of underlines that your writings mean more than just a countdown to payout while articles are lost in the devtome ether.

Another animation/infographic. Credit to marticps who did a big chunk of it and let me have a go at continuing what he started. Original voiceover plans haven’t come together and I’m out of spare time, so edited like this instead.

I like it a lot, weisoq. Great job!

I am encouraging people to discuss the prospects of a devcoin bounty site where projects that require outside help can be posted for possible collaboration. If enough people like and support your video, I bet we can raise 50k-100k of devcoins to pay someone with a solid voice a bounty to read a good script over your video.

See here http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=a_couple_of_ideas_regarding_devcoin_culture_and_acceptance_into_the_creative_space for more details on that idea.

Earning Devcoins by writing wiki articles is a good idea. But if no of the contacted admins are responding to my pms to setup an account for me, it is not possible to write anything. You guys should find a new and easier way to allow people adding articles to the wiki.
I have personally probably signed up about 60 people in the last 2 months... been getting a LOT of requests.  There are a lot of new users and it will take some time for all emails to be processed.  I should also say that cryptocurrencies are not the sole thing people tend to do.  I myself hold down another 3 jobs (1 normal 9-5) and I try to come on the forum every day or every other day, but life does throw a spanner in the works every now and again.

If you still have heard nothing in a week then why not try sending a PM again and send it to me as well and I can sign you up.

YES. Fuzzybear has been really helpful. However, there is one thing I still don't know: How do I insert image(s) into a piece of work, be it article or poetry?

I quite agree. The video gives in quite an entertaining way what Devcoin stands for.

Hello

If someone would help me this

I did not want to write about Gold I wanted to write about God how do I delete the trace or wallet for this subject.


 Trace: • earn_devcoins_by_writing • how_to_get_setup_earning_devcoins_by_writing • playground • theceo1974 • theceo1974 • gold


Thanks Kenya

You have to set up your user page first - go to http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=wiki:user:your_user_name  <--insert your user name here

On the top of the page, click on "Create this page"

In your text box, place this below (choose which applies)

==Collated==

 *[[:Your Article Title Here]] - Source: Collated

==Original==

 *[[:Your Article Title Here]] - Source: Original


==Tip==

Coin Address: hsghs55gf..........

 
 

Once you have done that, save your page and click on the link to the title of the topic you created. Create that page as you did your user page (link at top of page - Create Page). The edit box will appear, place your text in it and save. Edit as needed to get the correct formatting, text appearance, and of course for grammar.

I can not find my Devcoin Wallet.Dat file to backup on my USB

Is there any other way i can find the Dat file & back up my wallet?


If on Windows go to C Drive > Users > YourName >AppData > Roaming > Devcoin and copy your wallet.dat file to a safe location.

If you have Windows 8, press the button lower left corner and type %AppData% into the search box, it will take you to the AppData folder and navigate as above to locate your wallet.dat file.

Tnx (y)

This would really help a lot. I have no way of knowing if anything I am doing is producing page views. Daily would be really helpful. Some kind of rolling average would be really helpful, too.

Weisoq, really nice job you did Cheesy

It's a pity finally there's no voiceover, but I like the final video. Why don't you appear at the credits too?

Cheers

The video is great.

I see the Marketing Shares have dropped from 36 people in Round 32 to 19 people in Round 33. I'm not on the list anymore (user - fheenix) although I have 2 sites promoting devcoin and a crypto store. Can some one check that out please?

A question about collated materials:
something like "van fraassen's view on relational quantum mechanics" which comments, as an academic paper, an article by van fraassen, count as collated? i don't think so.
and something like "Critic review on surnames based social mobility's analysis" which critically reviews a recent paper/book?
Even van fraassen's article is entitled" rovelli's world" and discusses previous articles by Rovelli.
Definitely, a review is "collated"?  Huh
Thanks for answering.


Both of these are really dependent upon how unique they are. The issue we've run into in the past is people trying to basically copy-and-paste articles/books, add in a few comments here and there, and pass it off as being "original," by acting like their minor changes (sometimes being only a few percent of the overall piece of work) make it completely theirs.

The collation is something that really needs to be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you have questions, feel free to toss me a PM. I can also look over any articles and let you know if they should be under collated or original.
great, so basically an ordinary article's/ book's review, as we can find on scientific journals would count as original? it's not a copy and paste at all. Where a rewriting of, say, a wikipedia article, with a loto of copy and paste and some value added as collated?

Generally speaking, that should be correct. When in doubt, run it by me.
excellent, i DO appreciate this project and your commitment.
thanx

Not a problem!
